I get the same with the Elite - not yet investigated


Intermittent connection on one light? Faulty control unit? I'll be interested in the outcome...

Usual culprit is non standard rear lights (Bosch in particular). They run at a slightly different wattage to the Vx ones and it triggers the warning.

Had the same thing come up Check Taillights/Headlights on computer... check all that are in that rear cluster, think it turned out to be a rear foglight or reverse light was only a small one anyway :y

I had this.

Tracked it down to a dip head lamp bulb 10 quid later from Halfrauds problem gone.

Yes - my previous 'meega was extremely find of Ring Automotive bulbs which are supposed to some cheap pattern rubbish, but did not like too much the more established brand...  :o luckily my current car is not that fussy.  ;D

But before jumping to conclusions, don't forget to check the bulbs on the inside of the boot lid - easily overlooked...  :y
